DIY-genius or DIY-crazy, you can be the judge. Check out the video below and the full photobucket image gallery here.       [...]

      Some people have GIANT BRASS ONES to put such random items into circulation in their tank. Dude probably rinses off all the fish food to prevent “contamination”. Nothing ever goes into my tank that hasnt been sold as for use in aquariums, and been in mass use for some time.
